BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to the discovery of certain new and useful N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamides and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which are of especial value in view of their outstanding antithrombotic properties and low toxicities.

2. Description of the Prior Art

In the past, there have been many attempts to obtain new and improved agents for the treatment of thrombosis. The N² -(p-tolysulfonyl)-L-arginine esters have been found to be one type of agent which can be used and these have been found to be effective in dissolving blood clots. (U.S. Pat. No. 3,622,615, issued Nov. 23, 1971). One family of compounds which have been found to be particularly useful as highly specific inhibitors of thrombin for the control of thrombosis is the N² -dansyl-L-arginine ester or amide. (Our pending U.S. application Ser. No. 496,939, filed Aug. 13, 1974 now U.S. Pat. No. 3,978,045). However, there is a continuing need for a highly specific inhibitor of thrombin for the control of thrombosis, which exhibits lower toxicity.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It has now been discovered that N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamides exhibit antithrombotic activity and even lower toxicity levels at the same relative potencies, as compared with the N² -dansyl-L-arginine ester or amide.

The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the above compounds are of course also included within the scope of this invention.

For the preparation of the compounds of this invention, various methods can be employed depending upon the particular starting materials and/or intermediates involved. Successful preparation of these compounds is possible by way of several synthetic routes which are outlined below.

(a) Condensation of an L-argininamide with an arylsulfonyl halide

This process may be illustrated as follows: ##STR732## In the above formulas, R and Ar are as defined herein above; X is halogen; R''' is a protective group for the α-amino group, such as benzyloxycarbonyl or tert-butoxycarbonyl; R' and R" are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and protective groups for the guanidino group, such as nitro, tosyl, trityl, oxycarbonyl and the like; and at least one of R' and R" is a protective group for the guanidino group. The N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamide (I) is prepared by the condensation of an L-argininamide (VI) with a substantially equimolar amount of an arylsulfonyl halide (VII), preferably a chloride.

The condensation reaction is generally effected in a suitable reaction-inert solvent in the presence of an excess of a base, such as an organic base (triethylamine, pyridine) or a solution of an inorganic base (sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate), at a temperature of 0° C to the boiling temperature of the solvent for a period of 10 minutes to 15 hours.

The preferred solvents for the condensation include benzene-diethyl ether, diethyl ether-water and dioxane-water.

After the reaction is complete, the formed salt is extracted with water, and the solvent is removed by such standard means as evaporation under reduced pressure to give the N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamide (I), which can be purified by trituration or recrystallization from a suitable solvent, such as diethyl ether-tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether-methanol and water-methanol, or may be chromatographed on silica gel. The L-argininamides (VI) starting materials required for the condensation reaction can be prepared by protecting the guanidino and α-amino groups of L-arginine (II) via nitration, acetylation, formylation, phthaloylation, trifluoroacetylation, p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonylation, benzoylation, benzyloxycarbonylation, tert-butoxycarbonylation or tritylation and then condensing the formed N^(G) -substituted-N² -substituted-L-arginine (III) with a corresponding amino acid derivative (IV) by such a conventional process as the acid chloride method, azide method, mixed anhydride method, activated ether method or carbodiimide method, and thereafter selectively removing the protective groups from the formed N^(G) -substituted-N² -substituted-L-argininamide (V). The amino acid derivatives (IV) which are the starting materials for the preparation of the N^(G) -substituted-N² -substituted-L-argininamides (V) are represented by the following formulas: ##STR733## In the above formulas, R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄, R₅, R₆, R₇, R₉, R₁₀, R₁₁, Z, n, m, r, q, i, and j are as defined herein above.

The amino acid derivatives of the above formula (VIII) or (IX) can be prepared by the condensation of a haloacetate, 3-halopropionate or 4-halobutyrate with an appropriate amine having the formula R₁ NH₂ or R₃ NH₂. (See, J. Org. Chem., 25 728-732 (1960)). The condensation reaction is generally carried out without a solvent or in a solvent, such as benzene or ether, in the presence of an organic base, such as triethylamine or pyridine, at a temperature of 0° to 80° C for a period of 10 minutes to 20 hours. After the reaction is complete, the formed amino acid derivative is separated by such conventional means as extraction with a suitable solvent or evaporation of the reaction solvent and thereafter purified by distillation under reduced pressure.

Among the amino acid derivatives, amino acid tert-butyl ester derivatives are preferred, because they are easily converted to other ester derivatives by acidolysis in the presence of a corresponding alcohol employing an inorganic acid (HCl, H₂ SO₄, etc.) or an organic acid (toluenesulfonic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, etc.). In accordance with the process employed for preparing 2-piperidinecarboxylic acid derivatives (X), the following scheme is illustrative: ##STR734## In the first reaction of the aforementioned scheme, an appropriately substituted piperidine (XIV) is contacted with an aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution at a temperature of -5° to 0° C. The resultant product (XV) is isolated by extraction with a solvent, e.g., diethyl ether, and then treated with potassium hydroxide in a lower alkanol solvent to give the 1,2-dehydropiperidine (XVI). The action of cyanogenating agents, e.g., hydrogen cyanide or sodium cyanide converts the 1,2-dehydropiperidines (XVI) to the corresponding 2-cyano analogs (XVII). Hydrolysis of the 2-cyanopiperidines (XVII) to yield the 2-piperidinecarboxylic acids (XVIII) is effected by treatment of the 2-cyanopiperidines (XVII) with an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid.

The arylsulfonyl halides (VII) which are the starting materials for the preparation of the N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamides (I) can be prepared by halogenating the requisite arylsulfonic acids or their salts, e.g., sodium salts, by conventional methods well known to those skilled in the art.

In practice, halogenation is carried out without a solvent or in a suitable solvent e.g., halogenated hydrocarbons or DMF in the presence of a halogenating agent, e.g., phosphorous oxychloride, thionyl chloride, phosphorous trichloride, phosphorous tribromide or phosphorous pentachloride, at a temperature of -10° to 200° C for a period of 5 minutes to 5 hours. After the reaction is complete, the reaction product is poured into ice water and then extracted with a solvent such as ether, benzene, ethyl acetate, chloroform or the like.

The arylsulfonyl halide can be purified by recrystallization from a suitable solvent such as hexane, benzene or the like.

(b) Removal of the N^(G) -substituent from an N^(G) -substituted-N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamide

This process may be illustrated as follows: ##STR735## In the above formulas, R, Ar, X, R', R" and R''' are as defined herein above.

The N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamide (I) is prepared by removing the N^(G) -substituent from an N^(G) -substituted-N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamide (XX) by means of acidolysis or hydrogenolysis.

The acidolysis is generally effected by contacting the N^(G) -substituted-N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamide (XX) and an excess of an acid such as hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide or trifluoroacetic acid, without a solvent or in a solvent, such as an ether (tetrahydrofuran, dioxane), an alcohol (methanol, ethanol) or acetic acid at a temperature of -10° to 100° C, and preferably at room temperature for a period of 30 minutes to 24 hours.

The products are isolated by evaporation of the solvent and the excess acid, or by trituration with a suitable solvent followed by filtration and drying.

Because of the use of the excess acid, the products are generally the acid addition salts of the N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamides (I), which can be easily converted to a free amide by neutralization.

The removal of the nitro group and the oxycarbonyl group, e.g., benzyloxycarbonyl, p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, is readily accomplished by the hydrogenolysis. At the same time, the benzyl ester moiety which can be included in the R group is converted to the carboxyl group by the hydrogenolysis.

The hydrogenolysis is effected in a reaction-inert solvent, e.g., methanol, ethanol, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, in the presence of a hydrogen-activating catalyst, e.g., Raney nickel, palladium, or platinum, in a hydrogen atmosphere at a temperature of 0° C to the boiling temperature of the solvent for a period of 2 hours to 120 hours.

The hydrogen pressure is not critical, and atmospheric pressure is sufficient.

The N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamides (I) are isolated by filtration of the catalyst followed by evaporation of the solvent.

The N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamides can be purified in the same manner as described above.

The N^(G) -substituted-N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamides (XX) starting materials can be prepared by condensing an N^(G) -substituted-N² -substituted L-arginine (III) (generally the N^(G) -substituent is nitro or acyl, and the N² -substituent is a protective group for the amino group, such as benzyloxycarbonyl, tert-butoxycarbonyl, or the like) and a corresponding amino acid derivative (IV), selectively removing only the N² -substituent of an N^(G) -substituted-N² -substituted L-argininamide (V) by means of catalytic hydrogenolysis or acidolysis, and then condensing the thus obtained N^(G) -substituted-L-argininamide (XIX) with an arylsulfonyl halide (VII), preferably a chloride in the presence of a base in a solvent. These reaction conditions are as described above in the condensation of an L-argininamide with an arylsulfonyl halide, and the removal of the N^(G) -substituent from an N^(G) -substituted-N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamide.

(c) Condensation of an N² -arylsulfonyl-L-arginyl halide with an amino acid derivative

This process may be illustrated as follows: ##STR736## In the above formulas, R, Ar and X are as defined herein above.

The N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamide (I) is prepared by the condensation of an N² -arylsulfonyl-L-arginyl halide (XXII), preferably a chloride with at least an equimolar amount of an amino acid derivative (IV). The condensation reaction can be carried out without an added solvent in the presence of a base. However, satisfactory results will be obtained with the use of a solvent such as basic solvents (dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, etc.) or halogenated solvents (chloroform, dichloromethane, etc.).

The amount of the solvent to be used is not critical and may vary from about 5 to 100 times the weight of the N² -arylsulfonyl-L-arginyl halide (XXII).

Preferred condensation reaction temperatures are in the range of from -10° C to room temperature. The reaction time is not critical, but varies with the amino acid derivative (IV) employed. In general, a period of from 5 minutes to 10 hours is operable. The obtained N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamide can be isolated and purified in the same manner as described above.

The N² -arylsulfonyl-L-arginyl halide (XXII) starting materials required for the condensation reaction can be prepared by reacting an N² -arylsulfonyl-L-arginine (XXI) with at least an equimolar amount of a halogenating agent such as thionyl chloride, phosphorous oxychloride, phosphorous trichloride, phosphorous pentachloride or phosphorous tribromide. The halogenation can be carried out with or without an added solvent. The preferred solvents are chlorinated hydrocarbons such as chloroform and dichloromethane, and ethers such as tetrahydrofuran and dioxane.

The amount of the solvent to be used is not critical and may vary from about 5 to 100 times the weight of the N² -arylsulfonyl-L-arginine (XXI).

Preferred reaction temperature are in the range of -10° C to room temperature. The reaction time is not critical, but varies with the halogenating agent and reaction temperature. In general, a period of 15 minutes to 5 hours is operable.

The N² -arylsulfonyl-L-arginines (XXI) which are the starting materials for the preparation of the N² -arylsulfonyl-L-arginyl halides (XXII) can be prepared by the condensation of L-arginine (II) with a substantially equimolar amount of arylsulfonyl halides (VII), by a method similar to that described in the condensation of an L-argininamide with an arylsulfonyl halide.

(d) Guanidylation of an N² -arylsulfonyl-L-ornithinamide or an acid addition salt thereof

This process may be illustrated as follows: ##STR737## In the above formulas, R and Ar are as defined herein above.

The N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamide (I) is prepared by guanidylating an N² -arylsulfonyl-L-ornithinamide (XXIII) with an ordinary guanidylating agent such as an O-alkylisourea, S-alkylisothiourea, 1-guanyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazole or carbodiimide. The preferred guanidylating agents are the O-alkylisourea and the S-alkylisothiourea.

The guanidylation of the N² -arylsulfonyl-L-ornithinamide (XXIII) with the O-alkylisourea or S-alkylisothiourea is generally effected in a solvent in the presence of a base at a temperature of from 0° C to the boiling temperature of the solvent for a period of from 30 minutes to 50 hours.

Examples of the preferred bases are triethylamine, pyridine, sodium hydroxide and sodium methoxide. The base is used in an amount of 0.01 to 0.1 equivalent to the N² -arylsulfonyl-L-ornithinamide.

Examples of the preferred solvents are water, water-ethanol and water-dioxane.

After the reaction is complete, the N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamide (I) is isolated by evaporation of the solvent followed by removal of the excess base and the formed salt by a water wash.

It is well recognized in the art that an ester derivative of the N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamide (I) wherein R₂, R₅, R₈, R₉, R₁₀ or R₁₁ is alkyl, aralkyl, aryl or 5-indanyl, can be prepared from a carboxylic acid derivative of the N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamide wherein R₂, R₅, R₈, R₉, R₁₀ or R₁₁ is hydrogen, by the conventional esterification methods well known to those skilled in the art. It is also well recognized in the art that the carboxylic acid derivative can be prepared from the ester derivative by the conventional hydrolysis or acidolysis methods. The conditions under which esterification, hydrolysis or acidolysis would be carried out will be each apparent to those skilled in the art.

The N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamide (I) of this invention forms acid addition salts with any of a variety of inorganic and organic acids. Some of the N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamides containing a free carboxyl group, wherein R₂, R₅, R₈, R₉, R₁₀ or R₁₁ is hydrogen, forms salts with any of a variety of inorganic and organic bases.

The product of the reactions described above can be isolated in the free form or in the form of salts. In addition, the product can be obtained as pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts by reacting one of the free bases with an acid, such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, nitric, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, citric, maleic, succinic, lactic, tartaric, gluconic, benzoic, methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, benzenesulfonic, p-toluenesulfonic acid or the like. In a similar manner, the product can be obtained as pharmaceutically acceptable salts by reacting one of the free carboxylic acids with a base, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, triethylamine, procaine, dibenzylamine, 1-ephenamine, N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, N-ethylpiperidine or the like.

Likewise, treatment of the salts with a base or acid results in a regeneration of the free amide.

As stated above, the N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamides, and the salts thereof of this invention are characterized by their highly specific inhibitory activity in mammals against thrombim as well as by their substantial lack of toxicity, and therefore these compounds are useful in the determination of thrombin in blood as diagnostic reagents, and/or for the medical control or prevention of thrombosis.

The compounds of this invention are also useful as an inhibitor of platelet aggregation.

The antithrombotic activity of the N² -arylsulfonyl-L-argininamide of this invention was compared with that of a known antithrombotic agent, N² -(p-tolylsulfonyl)-L-arginine methyl ester, by determining the fibrinogen coagulation time. The measurement of the fibrinogen coagulation time was conducted as follows:

An 0.8 ml aliquot of a fibrinogen solution, which had been prepared by dissolving 150 mg of bovine fibrinogen (Cohn fraction I) supplied by Armour Inc. in 40 ml of a borate saline buffer (pH 7.4), was mixed with 0.1 ml of a borate saline buffer, pH 7.4, (control) or a sample solution in the same buffer, and 0.1 ml of a thrombin solution (5 units/ml) supplied by Mochida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. was added to the solutions in an ice bath.

Immediately after mixing, the reaction mixture was transferred from the ice bath to a bath maintained at 25° C. Coagulation times were taken as the period between the time to transference to the 25° C bath and the time of the first appearance of fibrin threads. In the cases where no drug samples were added, the coagulation time was 50-55 seconds. The experimental results are summarized in Table 2. The term "concentration required to prolong the coagulation time by a factor of two" is the concentration of an active ingredient required to prolong the normal coagulation time 50-55 seconds to 100-110 seconds.

The concentration required to prolong the coagulation time by a factor of two for the known antithrombotic agent, N² -(p-tolylsulfonyl)-L-arginine methyl ester, was 1,100μm. The inhibitors are shown in Table 1 by indicating R and Ar in the formula (I) and the addition moiety.

When a solution containing an N² -naphthylsulfonyl-L-argininamide of this invention was administered intravenously into animal bodies, the high antithrombotic activity in the circulating blood was maintained for from 1 to 3 hours. The halflife for decay of the anti-thrombotic compounds of this invention in circulating blood was shown to be approximately 60 minutes; the physiological conditions of the host animals (rat, rabbit, dog and chimpanzee) were well maintained. The experimental decrease of fibrinogen in animals caused by infusion of thrombin was satisfactorily controlled by simultaneous infusion of the compounds of this invention.

The acute toxicity values (LD₅₀) determined by intraperitoneal administration of substances of formula (I) in mice (male, 20 g) range from about 1,000 to 10,000 milligrams per kilograms of body weight.

Representative LD₅₀ values for the compounds of this invention are shown in the following Table.

(B) N-(2-methoxyethyl)glycine ethyl ester:

To a stirred solution of 165.2 g of 2-methoxyethylamine and 202.4 g of triethylamine in 1 l of benzene was added dropwise a solution of 334.0 g of ethyl bromoacetate in 200 ml of benzene in 1 hour at room temperature. At the end of this period, the mixture was heated at reflux for 2 hours to complete the reaction. Upon chilling, the triethylamine hydrobromide was removed by filtration and washed with benzene. After removal of the solvent, the product was distilled in vacuo to yield 242.8 g (75.3 percent) of N-(2-methoxyethyl)glycine ethyl ester, B.P. 73°-75° C/4 mmHg.

The following amino acid ethyl esters not previously reported in the chemical literature were synthesized by the aforementioned procedure which is essentially that as taught by A. J. Speziale et al., J. Org. Chem., 25 731 (1960).

(C) N-(2-methoxyethyl)glycine benzyl ester p-toluenesulfonate:

To a solution of 55.8 g of N-(2-methoxyethyl)glycine tert-butyl ester in 200 ml of benzene was added 63.8 g of benzyl alcohol and 72.9 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate. The mixture was heated at reflux for 10 hours with the continuous removal of water through a Dean-Stark water trap. At the end of this period, the solution was concentrated in vacuo, and to the residue was added 300 ml of dry ethyl ether. After 2 hours at room temperature, the formed precipitate was filtered, washed with dry ethyl ether and then recrystallized from ethyl acetate to yield 99.2 g (85 percent) of N-(2-methoxyethyl)glycine benzyl ester p-toluenesulfonate, M.P. 95°-96° C.

2-piperidinecarboxylic acids and esters thereof

(A) 4-methyl-2-piperidinecarbonitrile:

To 500 g of 10% sodium hypochlorite solution cooled in an ice bath, there was added dropwise a solution of 33.6 g (0.21 mole) of 4-methylpiperidine acetate in 10 ml of water over a period of 1 hour. At the end of this period, the reaction product was extracted twice with 500 ml of ethyl ether and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After evaporation of ethyl ether, the residue was added dropwise to a solution of 11.8 g (0.21 mole) of potassium hydroxide in 100mls of 96% ethanol under reflux. Refluxing was continued for an additional 10 minutes. Ethanol was evaporated, and the residue was dissolved into 50 ml of 2N sodium hydroxide solution and then extracted with ether.

The ether layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then ether evaporated. The residue was added to an ice-cooled solution of 27 g (1 mole) of hydrogen cyanide and 25 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid in 300 ml of water. The solution was stirred at a temperature of 10° to 20° C for 4 hours and thereafter made basic by the addition of solid sodium hydroxide. The reaction product was extracted with ether, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then distilled under reduced pressure to give 17 g (66%) of 4-methyl-2-piperidinecarbonitrile, B.P. 96°-97° C/10 mmHg.

The following 2-piperidinecarbonitriles not previously reported in the chemical literature were synthesized by the aforementioned procedure which is essentially that as taught by Grundon et al., J.
